These brownies feature a rich fudgy texture infused with the unique floral notes of Tahitian vanilla, perfect for any occasion and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted (can swap with gluten-free flour blend)
  • ¾ cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder, natural or Dutch-processed
  • 1 Tahitian vanilla bean pod, split and scraped or 2 teaspoons pure Tahitian vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter gently in a microwave or on the stovetop. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and whisk in the granulated sugar until combined and glossy, about 1 minute.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the scraped Tahitian vanilla seeds or vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet using a spatula. Mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with the spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Start checking at 30 minutes by inserting a toothpick near the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  8. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to let the fudgy texture set perfectly.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies fudgy, not cakey. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Chilling batter for 10 minutes before baking enhances cocoa flavor. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
